The energy conversion device includes liquid dielectric as a capacitor. The energy of the liquid dielectric capacitor is consumed inside the capacitor for use in engines, welding, or producing buoyancy gas, or consumed outside the capacitor for use as an on-board capacitor for a vehicle. The liquid dielectric capacitor is considered a dielectric breakdown-inducing igniter as an alternative to the conventional spark plug. In order to utilize the principle of this igniter as an energy source for an engine, a welding device or a gas production device for a buoyancy bag used to lift off seabed resources, an electric charge is applied to a liquid dielectric thin layer, then the thickness of the liquid dielectric thin layer is brought close to zero to cause dielectric breakdown, or the thickness of the liquid dielectric thin layer is increased to create a high voltage source for an on-board capacitor for a vehicle.
